Rock Band
A few years ago when a little company released a game called Guitar Hero they started a revolution of game play that no one could have believed would be successful, now we are about to have Rock Band, the ambitious new generation of interactive rock stardom. Available Nov. 23rd at the staggering price of $169.99, Rock Band gives you a drum kit, guitar and microphone that you and your friends can use to rock out till you pass out. Tied into a deal with MTV, Rock Band now features master tracks of most of their song lists (the original recordings instead of covers as in previous versions) which will add a definite surreal vibe to the experience. This game is not for everyone, but as someone who has rocked out in the past, Guitar Hero is an exciting concept that groups will have a blast playing together in Rock Band.

Why Buy it? If you have some friends and you can afford the steep price, this game will be the ultimate party game experience. Bring out one of your old Guitar Hero guitars so someone can sit on bass and you will have a full Rock Band. There is nothing like jamming on Sabotage while your wannabe rapper buddy sings the lines. There is a deep multiplayer component where you can create a band with members on the Playstation Network and as you play and members drop out due to missed notes, you can revive them to play on. Oh yeah, and any game that I can play "Wanted Dead or Alive" is a winner in my books. 'I'm a cowboy and on a steel horse I ride, I'm wanted....WANTED, Dead or Alive!' Now I just need to feather my hair.
